Abstract:
An apparatus and a method for generating a downlink signal, and an apparatus and a method for searching a cell are provided to estimate a frame synchronization and a cell group search by using a plurality of synchronization patterns formed in one frame. An apparatus for generating a downlink signal includes a pattern generator(110), and a time-frequency mapper(130). The pattern generator(110) generates a synchronization pattern for a plurality of synchronization blocks which form one frame of the downlink signal. The synchronization pattern has a cell group number and start point information of the frame. The plurality of synchronization blocks are a group of a plurality of consecutive sub frames in the frame. The time-frequency mapper(130) generates the downlink signal by mapping the synchronization pattern to a time-frequency domain. The pattern generator(110) generates the synchronization pattern by a combination of a cell group identifying code for identifying a cell group, and a frame synchronization identifying code for indicating a start point of the frame. The synchronization pattern generated by a different code combination is assigned to each of the plurality of synchronization blocks.
Abstract:
A method for mapping a secondary synchronization channel symbol in an OFDM cellular system provides efficiency of mapping by setting two orthogonal code sequence numbers and performing the mapping of the secondary synchronization channel symbol. A cell group number, the number of cell groups used in the system, a P-BCH antenna information index, the number of secondary synchronization channel symbol per frame, a secondary synchronization channel symbol timing index and the number of the secondary synchronization channel orthogonal code sequence used in system are assembled in two orthogonal code sequences(310,311,320,321) of the secondary synchronization channel symbol. The set up number is assigned and the secondary synchronization channel symbol is mapped.
Abstract:
A preamble allocation method and a random access method in a mobile communication system are provided to prevent an unnecessary collusion and a delay of a processing time by using a preamble resource allocated to a corresponding mobile station. A preamble allocation method in a mobile communication system includes the steps of: dividing a preamble resource into a competition based group and a reservation allocation group; dividing the preamble resource into a competition based region for transmitting the preamble based on the preamble resource corresponding to the competition based group, and a reservation allocation region for transmitting the preamble based on the preamble resource corresponding to the reservation allocation group; broadcasting the preamble configuration information for the preamble resource which is divided into the competition based group and the reservation allocation group; and allocating the preamble resource of the reservation allocation group to a predetermined mobile station.
Abstract:
A radio resource allocation method in a mobile communication system is provided to recover radio resources temporarily if a transmission packet does not exist, so that the recovered resources can be newly allocated to another mobile terminal, thereby efficiently operating resource allocation, recovery, and reallocation according to existence of the packet. If a downlink packet does not exist for the first mobile terminal assigned with downlink radio resources, the assigned radio resources are recovered and assigned to the second mobile terminal. It is continuously confirmed whether a new downlink packet exists for the first mobile terminal whose radio resources are recovered. If so, the radio resources assigned to the second terminal are recovered and reassigned to the first terminal.
Abstract:
A signal transmission method is provided to reduce a time diversity gain for an MS(Mobile Station) moving at low speed, while a space diversity gain for reducing interference from neighboring sectors can be given to an MS located around a sector border. Plural BCH symbols are generated and outputted(S201). Plural SCH(Synchronization Channel) symbols are generated and outputted(S203). Other channel symbols are generated and outputted(S205). TDM(Time Division Multiplexing)/FDM(Frequency Division Multiplexing) processes are performed for the BCH, SCH, and other channel symbols. A cyclic delay matrix is applied to generate transmission signals for each antenna. The channel symbols are transmitted to a sector.
Abstract:
A receiver for detecting random access preambles in a mobile communication system is provided to detect a receiving path of each receiving antenna and the random access preambles received to multiple random access channels through multi-antennas to process signals received from the multi-antennas. A conjugate complex number generator stores a preamble sequence for plural receiving signals, and outputs a conjugate complex number corresponding to a prestored preamble sequence according to a channel band at which a receiving signal composed of at least one input sample is transmitted. Pre-processing units(100,100') process each of the received receiving signals to output plural preambles respectively. Preamble calculators(200,200') output power information about the receiving signals on the basis of the plural preambles and the conjugate complex number. The power information includes power values of each of input samples composing the receiving signals. A non-coherent combiner(300) combines and outputs the outputted power information into one power information. A peak detector(400) provides preamble information about the plural receiving signals for controlling a receiver on the basis of the maximum power value in the power values of the outputted power information.
Abstract:
A bit transmission method of different control channels is provided to perform modulation by binding bits of different control channels, or to perform an encoding process by binding the bits, and to send the bound bits, thereby allocating the same frequency, time, and code resources to two pieces of information. A base station performs a CRC(Cyclic Redundancy Check) function after receiving packet data(510) from a mobile station to check whether an error exists, and if so, the base station generates an NACK bit, and if not, the base station generates an ACK bit. The base station detects reception strength of the packet data to generate a power control symbol, and transmits a symbol(520) for combining the ACK/NACK bits with the power control symbol to a downlink.
Abstract:
A method for mapping a pilot sequence and a synchronization channel sequence is provided to improve cell search performance of a mobile station in a cellular system. A method for mapping a pilot sequence and a synchronization channel sequence includes the step of combining a pilot channel PN(Pseudo-Noise) code with a pilot channel orthogonal code to divide cell identifiers used in a mobile communication system. The cell identifiers are equally divided into cell groups. Primary synchronization channels(100-A,100-B) include information about the cell identifiers in the cell group. Secondary synchronization channels(101-A,101-B) include information about the cell group. A secondary synchronization code is allocated in correspondence to the pilot channel PN code.
Abstract:
A method for transmitting/receiving a broadcast channel signal is provided to increase a signal to interference ratio in accordance with the time of a receiver through soft-combining by making a transmitter change a symbol mapping pattern applied whenever transmitting the broadcast channel signal. A method for transmitting/receiving a broadcast channel signal includes the steps of: at a symbol mapping unit(120), selecting a second symbol mapping pattern, which is different from a first symbol mapping pattern of a previous transmission period, as the mapping pattern of each broadcast channel symbol of the current transmission period; and at a radio frequency transmission unit(150), transmitting the broadcast channel signal based on the second symbol mapping pattern. The interval between a frequency used in the first symbol mapping pattern and a frequency used in the second symbol mapping pattern is larger than a coherence band of the channel to map the same broadcast channel symbol.
